Antu Hotels with Balcony

"I initially thought this was a large hotel, but it's actually more like a small guesthouse. The lobby is tiny and quite basic. Thankfully, the room itself was decent, not small in terms of size, but the facilities were just average. The air conditioning buttons were particularly finicky. The bathroom's wet/dry separation wasn't well-designed; there was no convenient place to put dry clothes after showering, making it awkward to get dressed. Breakfast was also very simple. The only real upside is its good location, being relatively close to the North Slope Distribution Center, about a 1km walk. Parking for self-drivers isn't very convenient as there's no dedicated lot; you have to find street parking yourself. Compared to the price of 600-700 per night, the value for money isn't great. 🥲"

"🏞️ **Environment & Location: Excellent Scenery, Inconvenient Transportation** The hotel's biggest selling point is its location. * **Pros:** Located near the Changbaishan North Scenic Area, it's only about a 5-minute drive to the North Slope entrance. They offer a VIP access pass for the scenic area, which saves a lot of queuing time. Surrounded by forest, it's quiet with beautiful views. * **Cons:** The location is relatively remote, often referred to as being in the middle of nowhere. It's about a 30-minute drive from Erdaobaihe Town, with very few options for takeout and restaurants nearby. Hotel transportation (like private car hire) is also quite expensive. 🧹 **Cleanliness: Room Gets a Thumbs Up** * **Good points:** The bedding in the room was comfortable, and cleaning was thorough. * **Needs improvement:** The service manual in the room had graffiti on it and should be replaced soon. 🍽️ **Dining: Decent Price, BBQ is Okay** * **Breakfast:** A wide variety of options, and the staff were enthusiastic. ♨️ **Hot Springs & Facilities: The Core Highlight** The hotel's hot springs and amenities are its main draw. * **Natural Hot Springs:** The hot springs are genuine natural sulfur springs from Changbaishan. There are both indoor and outdoor pools, and the outdoor pool experience is fantastic. * **Amenities:** The hot spring area is relatively new, and the changing rooms are clean. They also provide practical benefits like VIP access to Tianchi Lake and high-speed rail station transfers. * The hotel butler service was excellent, very responsive, and helped us solve problems with transportation and sightseeing. This definitely deserves praise. 💎 **Summary** * **Suitable for:** Travelers who prioritize location and want to conveniently visit the Changbaishan North Slope, using the VIP pass to avoid crowds, especially families with elderly members or children. * **Booking advice:** Be sure to book through official channels for packages that include ”hot springs” and ”VIP access,” and remember to book all transfers and benefits at least one day in advance."

"Well, what can I say? After staying at so many hotels over the years, this is the first time I've encountered a front desk that didn't answer the phone after several tries. The hotel offers airport/station pickup. The driver added me on WeChat and then kept aggressively recommending other tours and private car services, which I guess is understandable as they're trying to drum up business. However, our itinerary was already set. He then tried to push a private car to the North Slope, but unfortunately, we'd already bought our high-speed train tickets. Later, we found the hotel shuttle time for departure wasn't suitable, so we just took a taxi ourselves. Erdaobaihe town is lovely, and the Scaly-sided Merganser Park is great. The *dagaao* (sticky rice cake) sold by an old man outside the East Gate was the best we've had these past few days. But the hotel... I probably won't be coming back. Unless you don't care about service."

"We have an enjoyable stay 4 night stay at the hotel. Our butler 小贺 was responsive to our needs and did his best to ensure that we are well taken care of. A special shout out to our 百度 driver 刘先生。He is friendly and informative. Went beyond his duties to assist us on our enquiries and even suggested options when our 1st choice is not available. He is definitely an asset to the hospitality industry. As for the hotel amenities, perhaps the management could consider installing a few more washing machines to cater guests when the hotel is serving at its full capacity. Like to thank the 阿姨 who cook our noodles at the canteen every morning during breakfast. She maintains professionalism even at the peak of the breakfast hours."

"I had a wonderful stay at Changbaishan Hailinyuan Fashion Hotel! The hotel is very affordable, making it a great option for budget travelers without compromising on comfort. What really stood out was the owner’s incredible hospitality. From the moment we arrived, the owner went out of their way to make our stay easy and enjoyable. They provided transport from Changbaishan Station to the hotel and even offered to take us to local attractions at no extra charge, which made exploring the area so much easier. The photos below show the owner fetching us to the attractions, which was such a thoughtful touch! The hotel is located right in town, so it’s very convenient. There are many food options nearby, as well as a convenience store, which made grabbing snacks or essentials very easy. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the overall environment of the hotel was welcoming and cozy. The owner is truly a kind and thoughtful person, always ready to help and ensure guests have a smooth and pleasant stay. I felt really looked after throughout our visit. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly hotel with excellent service, a convenient location, and a personal touch, I highly recommend Changbaishan Hailinyuan Fashion Hotel. The combination of affordability, hospitality, and convenience makes it an outstanding choice for anyone visiting the area."

"We were driving ourselves and had a bit of trouble finding the hotel parking once we arrived in the area near the scenic spot. The front desk staff guided us remotely to the parking, saving us the hassle of driving around in circles. The check-in process was handled with a constant smile, and they proactively recommended authentic local Korean ethnic cuisine. They also thoroughly explained the locations of nearby supermarkets, shopping malls, and gas stations. The check-out process was simple and quick, with no hidden fees. The staff were meticulous and genuinely warm-hearted in their service."
